yeah, by "higher miles", it's probably reasonable for a car that age... just stuff does start to break by then if it hasn't been dealt with. c900 or 9-3 or 9000 or anything... there are differences between c900 + 9-3, pros + cons to each. sure, people on the c900 bb will refer to anything under 200k as "just broken in", but it's kind of a facetious comment really (related to those cars' age)... lots of things have normally broken by that point! fortunately they are all mostly fixable + those cars can run a long time... it's the big stuff I'd worry about: rust, tranny, engine + if there's so many minor issues they add to too much...
With any used car, check it over carefully + proof of good maintenance is key.
